Swimming is the sport that has gotten me like crazy for all my life, from training twice a day and sleeping really few hours, to competing at the highest levels.
I have always being a fly and free specialist, with the versatility of swimming any event I was assigned to. I was always a kid who gave his best at every training, the one who always lead the rail and motivated everyone else in the team, no matter how bad was I swimming or how bad my day was going, I always stood up for the team whenever someone was feeling down or anxious.
